I remember owning this game. I also remember being really happy to have that Nintendo Power subscription due to how I bought it used and with no box, manual, etc., meaning I didn't have that necessary code to move on partway through the game. Fortunately, they did give it to you in the magazine because of apparently realizing that was a horribly stupid idea after the fact.

I liked the game. Fell a bit short of being truly elite for me. I recall not liking the whole "jump to get on top of tiles" deal as it made controls awkward. I did like the tropical island vibe of the game, but recall liking its sequel a bit more, even if it mostly replaced tropical isles with traveling through time.

Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle
